Obama's health plan takes shape

In Poll, Wide Support for Government-Run Health

I fully support a single payer system. Medicare for all would be great. I have been thinking about all of the government run health care plans- Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare for military personnel. Why doesn't the government just combine all of the government run health care plans and then we have a single payer system?

I have Tricare Select for Reservists. It is dirt cheap. I pay only $47.56 cents every month for myself. A family plan is only $180a month. I think that it would be a better idea to just combine all of these plans, instead of re- inventing the wheel. The infrastructure is all ready there, so just use it. JMHO and my NY $0.02.

The goal is the exact same as an infomercial to sell you something; for obama it is to gain support and muscle his plan through congress. This will be nothing more than a Sham Debate- ABC is hand picking questions. It is going to be essentially scripted.

When else has a network given the president the stage to "discuss" his controversial plan that he is trying to push through congress and is currently meeting significant scrutiny? Personally I can't think of any.

The fact that ABC offered the time means that they have already taken sides and are no longer objective. They are walking the precipice of a slippery slope. What is ABC the new Al-jazeera?

anyone have a link to the actual study and poll results?
